If immigrants are so great why do their countries suck? A nation reflects its people! And I really doubt that article is true it looks like propaganda from what I see. Looks like it's propoganda to let more immigrants come here so big companies can pay them less. That's always what companies want MONEY!

How many of you agree that America needs to attract more talented people and reduce the hurdles?

How about making it easier for technical immigrants to obtain a green card directly?
Legally and as long as American conpanies can prove there were no citizens that were qualified sure!

Illegally under the shadow of "Free Trade" agreements because they work for lower wages like it is now. Nope!

I am voting Trump so he can blow up D.C. and start over.

That's because our government gives them business startup loans. They don't give them like that to actual Americans though.

They were immigrants too. They just didn't sprout up out of the ground in North America.

Who are those fellow immigrants? Most legal immigrants are required to demonstrate the ability to support themselves and their families before their immigration applications are approved.

I don't know. Why have Europeans been coming here ever since the discovery of America?

You got anything to support that? Never heard of immigrant loan like that.

Ah, yes.

First the entrenched business interests from CATO and Mercatus start a new think tank.

The think tank then creates a "study" that says "hurr durr immigrants create jobs." (In this case it was : 51% of billion-dollar startups have at least 1 immigrant founder.)

The think tank passes this study on to the wall street journal, who doesn't think their narrative sounds quite strong enough, so rewords it into something different. (Immigrants Founded 51% of U.S. Billion-Dollar Start Ups)

Then the WSJ uses this one individual phrase from a study about immigrants, to promote the expansion of a non-immigrant visa, knowing full well that its subscribers don't know the difference.
